3 CONVERSATION STARTING TEES FOR THE GYM.

by Biz-Boy (NWM Staff Writer)

Sorry single urbanites. You will ALL eventually hear this statement from your probing parents that live out in the 'burbs…

“IT’S SUCH A BIG CITY, HOW COME YOU HAVEN’T MET ANYONE YET?”

It doesn’t matter if you hail from Chicago, New York, Philly, Miami, LA or San Fran – no one is impervious to that comment. I think what parents don’t seem to understand is that city folks tend NOT to be trusting of strangers. You don’t just leave your cramped studio and walk into a giant hug-fest, ‘cept in certain parts of Ontario (so I’ve heard.) A new person you let in your life could be a raving psycho or worse, annoying.

As far as social remedies go you always have the internet dating sites. However, if you want to make a go at meeting people in face to face situations (and the bar scene isn’t your thing) I’d say the last great fertile territory is the gym. At least 3 uncertainties are eliminated just by being a member.

  1. you’re health conscious
  2. you have a bit of money (depending on the health club)
  3. you’re not a jerk (if you towel off the machine after use).

And GUYs, you can also add to the above good qualities (and spark a conversation) depending on the T-shirt you decide to wear. Here are 3 can’t miss suggestions.




What it says about you:
- Not the regular “popular music” guy.
- Willing to leave the city for cultured events.
Conversation Starting Fact:

RUNNING OF THE BULLS TSHIRT ($33.90)
What it says about you:

- International traveler (event is held in Spain.)

COLORADO COLLEGE TIGERS T-SHIRT ($15.95)

  1. You are a riot! Are you taking orders? Does the Running of the Bulls come in a small? If not, will it shrink to fit?

  3. Maybe that is why I got dirty looks the other day at the gym. I was wearing a "Got Lime? Corona" shirt. This must have translated to mean:

    1) I'm a drunk

    2) I shouldn't have driven to the gym

    3) I intake WAY too many daily carbs

    BTW the price for Bulls shirt is ridiculous!

  4. I always wear my pink shirt that says 'All My Other Shirts Are In The Wash'
